What Can We Learn from Jesus Raising Lazarus from the Dead (John 11:38-46)?
“We can learn that God can rescue us from yucky darkness,” says Mollie Mae, 6. Darkness is indeed yucky, especially when you’re six years old.

Why Did Jesus Heal On The Sabbath?

Should You Obey a Law That Forbids Worshiping God?
“I would rather die than to obey a law that prohibits worshiping God,” says Sarah, age 8. “I love God with all my heart. You should do what’s right. Obey what’s right, and you will be fine.” Thank you for your incredible statement, Sarah. I’m amazed and challenged by your love and devotion. “I would […]
